Dev Chat Plan
This week we wanted to declare beta. But things are still being committed that are not just bug fixes! And things with patches are still waiting for review! And half the core team is out of town today! What to do?!
- Koop more or less wrapped up theme previewer last night.
- Before we do another check on where our planned features stand, I’d like the queue of has-patch tickets to be cleared. Any/all commit-level developers in chat today should divvy up the tickets for the commit/punt roll call until there are no more patches waiting in the 3.4 milestone. Tomorrow we can do a check in of the planned features and punt the things that just didn’t make it in time despite valiant efforts. Maybe Friday we could call beta, or that could be Monday (not sure when Ryan gets back). Nacin is driving in dev chat today.

Dev (schit) plan
ticket #18997 was opened 5 months ago, I posted a patch…. happy to contribute to this wonderful project called wordpress !
And … has been arbitrarily postponed today for future release … with the following comment …
A good idea, but too late for 3.4.
are you looking for volonteers ?

We’re always looking for volunteers! And we very much appreciate the feature request AND the patch. Unfortunately, in order to get versions out on time (and we’re already behind schedule on this one) we have to draw a line somewhere. Even with the patch already written, it needs to be reviewed, tested, checked for potential security issues, checked for backwards compatibility, etc.
Additionally, this release is specifically focused on giving the site owner the ability to make their site look how they want (mostly theme enhancements). This doesn’t particularly fit with that and we need to try to stay focused so we can accomplish as much as possible. Your idea hasn’t been rejected, just postponed.
